TO the employment agency In this city, and re-
manned at her first place OF service only few days.
She was In New Brunswick jail about two weeks
and remained that time at the United States Hotel
in that town. on the last OF June she went to
William Fishers home at the ive-mile lock and re-
NAMED there five months, or until the middle Of
November. Then she found employment at the
EinStein Cloth Mills, at Bound Brook, but worked
there only one day.
At the mills was employed a weaver known as
FRANK Credeford. Some called him Crawford
Foreman OF the Mills Ryan said to-day that Crede-
ford had worked there for seven or eight years.
He had an ungovernable temper and was consd-
cred a dangerous man. No one knew where he
seemed fascinated with Annie, and she had not
been at the mills hour before he was in CONVEX
sation with her.
MARRIAGE.
Annie went to the mills December 5. On tie
morning OF December she told Mrs. Wilson that
she would not return to work, but offered no ex-
PLANTATION. The next day she met Credeford and
the two became partially Intoxicated. That night
Credef0rd and Annie presented themselves at The
Office OF Justice Sommers and announced their
desire to get married. The ceremony was per-

sorrow for her act. She refused to kiss her hus-

When morning came Annie arose early and

effects. she retained the ring and garment loaned
her by Mrs. Wilson and left three rings with that
lady. She took the first train over the new line
road to Philadelphia On the same morning Crede-
ford presented himself at the mill and demanded
his wages. His money was paid him and he took
a later train for Philadelphia
For a few weeks letters came to Mrs. Wilson
from Annie, who had found employment In Phila-
delphia- Then the correspondence, which con-
tained no reference TO meeting with CredefOrd,
suddenly ceased. The last letter was received
some time In January OF the present year. All
trace OF the woman Is lost from that time until
the tragedy at Railway.
THE DETECTIVES THEORY.
IL Is believed by the officers that Credeford did
not discover his unwilling wifes presence in Phil
adelphia until about The time of the murder, or q
few days before, and that she fed from him. but
was overtaken at Railway. The mystery sur

tails noticed at the time yet TO be solved De-
tectiveS at Philadelphia have been searching for
Credeford for several days and 1t was for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining how they succeeded that Ex-
